I'm doing a project for my Applied Kinesiology class which centers around comparing competitive runner's basic speed and success at shorter distance (400) with success in distance events (5000). While I won't be including the information I get here in my project (it's only for college athletes), I'm interested in seeing if the trend holds across different age groups. Please list your gender, age and 5k/400 PR's.

Yeah, kind of sad pace is only 50 seconds per mile difference(if averaged paced for 400m and 5k) But yeah, I am a HORRIBLE sprinter and a very very good endurance racer.
Impressive, that's the biggest difference I've seen so far (next closest was a 61/15:23). If you don't mind me asking, what's your marathon PR?

I dislike the 5k very much, 12.5 laps is an eternity.

How are you going to get any useful information on that without asking at what age they ran those PRs, or comparing times run at a certain age?
